    Free Guide! Feed a Family on a Low Carb Diet

    In this free 5-day email series learn all my tips for incorporating a low-carb lifestyle into the life of your family.

    I go through phases where I am great at meal planning and prepping. When time allows, I enjoy planning out my meals and making foods in advance. These chocolate keto muffins are prime candidates for such events. Each batch of these heavenly muffins makes twelve, so you can easily add them to your meal plan for snacks and breakfast. 

    In addition to the simple recipe, they can be frozen to enjoy down the road. Just grab a muffin or two, thaw and enjoy! This is perfect when you need a quick pick-me-up type snack or have a sweet tooth that’s begging for a treat. 

    I probably don’t even need to tell you, but my kids will devour these muffins. The moist texture paired with the chocolate is satisfying to even the youngest of eaters. Try them yourself to see how tempting they are.

    How To Make Keto Chocolate Muffins

    These muffins are made the same way a traditional muffins recipe is prepared, but the ingredients easily fit into my low carb diet. Let’s get started so you can sink your teeth into one of these warm, delicious low carb chocolate muffins.

    small bowls of ingredients

    First Step: Warm the oven to 350 degrees. Then combine both kinds of flour, cocoa powder, sweetener, baking powder, salt, eggs, butter, almond milk, and vanilla in a medium bowl. Then carefully fold in the chocolate chips.

    Second Step: Prepare a muffin tin with paper or add some cooking spray for 12 muffins. Use a large cookie scoop or measuring cup to divide the batter among the paper liners in the muffin pan.

    Third Step: Bake the muffins for 25-30 minutes or until you can insert a toothpick and it comes out clean.

    Can I Add Nuts To These Keto Chocolate Muffins?

    Of course, you can add some nuts to these low carb chocolate muffins if you want. Walnuts, pecans, and almonds would all be great. Once you have the batter mixed up, fold in ¼ - ½ cup of the nuts of your choice to the batter. 

    Tips & Substitutions

    Yes, if you want to add some mix-ins or subs to the muffins, feel free. Just keep in mind that if you add in more ingredients that it will change the texture, as well as the flavor and the nutritional information. Some of our favorite additions are:

    • Banana Extract - Drizzle in some banana extract to give you a chocolate banana muffin flavor. 
    • Peanut Butter - I suggest swirling some in instead of completely mixing it.
    • Coconut - Sprinkle some coconut into the batter or add it on top. If it is getting too dark in the oven simply cover the muffins with foil.
    • Triple Chocolate - Add in some white chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips to the batter or add a few extra semi-sweet chocolate chips on top to give you even more intense chocolate experience. 
    • Zucchini - You can easily hide some shredded zucchini in these low carb chocolate muffins. No one will ever know!
    • Nut-Free - To make these nut-free use sunflower seed flour instead of the almond flour and carton coconut milk instead of the almond milk.
    • Dairy-Free - The only dairy in these is butter so you can easily swap in refined coconut oil to make them dairy free.

    Can I Make Mini Muffins?

    Yes, you can turn these keto chocolate muffins into mini muffins without too much trouble. Prepare the keto double chocolate muffins as directed and add the batter to the mini muffin tin. They will make around 24 mini muffins. The baking time will need to be adjusted to more like 15-20 minutes. Check them with a toothpick to check for doneness. 

    Can You Make Keto Chocolate Muffins Ahead of Time?

    Absolutely, you can make these muffins ahead of time. We love preparing, baking them, and storing them for whenever we get in the mood for a muffin. Perfect for meal prepping or planning ahead, so you always have something at arms reach when you need it.

    Notes

    Nutrition: the nutrition facts are calculated for one muffin. Each muffin has 3 NET carbs.
    To Store: once the muffins are cooled, put them inside of a storage container that’s sealed. They will last 3-4 days at room temperature, or they can be kept in the refrigerator if you want.
    To Freeze: place them muffins on a baking pan, so they aren’t touching and freeze for 1-2 hours. After they have frozen, place the muffins in a freezer bag or container. They will last 3 months if they are kept airtight.
    Notes on Sweeteners: 
    I use my own blend of xylitol, erythritol, and stevia in my recipes. This is twice as sweet as sugar. It is comparable to Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet and Truvia.
    To sub in Swerve or Lakanto Monk Fruit use 1.5 times the amount of sweetener called for. 
     
    To sub in Pyure or Trim Healthy Mama Super Sweet use half the amount of sweetener called for.
     
    Substitutions will work in most recipes. They may not work in candies, such as caramel.
